Abstract

A power adapter (Fig. 1A) for an electrical device includes a male electrical plug, an electrical connection (27), electrical circuitry (29) connected to the plug for converting power input to the power adapter through the plug to power suitable for an electrical device to be electrically connected to the electrical connection. The power adapter further includes a housing member for containing the plug, the electrical connection, and the electrical circuitry and including a cord including an electrical power cord attached at a first end to the electrical connection and attachable at a second end to the electrical device, and a reel on which the cord is adapted to be wound and from which the cord is adapted to be dispensed.
